Before You Start ================ You should have the following items ready before you start: 1. Windows NT Server has been installed and you have administrator user right. 2. Latest distribution diskette for that Compex LAN Adapter and/or 3. Compex NT Remoteboot Support Diskette. This disk is available from Compex WEB,FTP or BBS server. Download file name: NTRB1.EXE or latest FreedomLINE release disk. 4. FreedomROM FL100TX v2.00c or higher installed on the adapter and configured to boot to "Windows NT" boot protocol. ** Note:- Throughout this procedure, Windows NT Server is assumed to have installed to C:\WINNT directory. Installation Steps ================== Step 1. ------ Install the Remoteboot Service. ------------------------------- Add NT Remoteboot software support and create the remoteboot image structure on the NT server. Make sure DLC and NetBEUI protocols are also installed. Remotebooting MS-DOS OS is the installation procedure explained below. For more details on NT Remoteboot software installation and creation of the remoteboot image structure, please refer to NT Server's manual, or NT Help document (if installed in NT Server during initial installation), or Windows NT Server CR-ROM help document. Step 2: ------- Install the MS-DOS system files. -------------------------------- A. Prepare a bootable disk and copy all the DOS utilities file to the disk e.g. MS-DOS v6.22, that the workstaiton will boot. B. On Windows NT Server, log on as Administrator user or equivalent administrator user. C. Do the following sub-steps to copy the files. a) Copy all the files on bootdisk prepared in Step2-1 to the following directory, C:\> Copy A:\*.* C:\WINNT\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622 b) Change directory to C:\WINNT\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS622 and copy the system files in bootdisk to drive C attrib -s -h A:\io.sys attrib -s -h A:\msdos.sys copy A:\io.sys C: copy A:\msdos.sys C: Step 3: ------ Start the Remoteboot Service. ----------------------------- A. In the Control Panel, choose the Services icon. B. In the Services dialog box, select the Remoteboot service. C. Choose the Start button. Step 4: ------ Copy Compex FL100TX PCI card profile files to NT Server. -------------------------------------------------------- A. On Windows NT Server, log on to a user account that belongs to the Administrators local group. B. Make a directory FL100TX under directory, C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI e.g. C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\FLPCI C. From Compex Support Disk or FL100TX PCI driver disk copy the following files; a) copy these files, A:\NTBR\DOSBB.CNF A:\NTBR\PROTOCOL.INI to the subdirectory, C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\FLPCI b) copy FLPCI.DOS to the subdirectory, C:\WINNT\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS c) Copy FLPNP.NIF to subdirectory, C:\WINNT\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF Step 5. ------- Creating Remoteboot configurations for FL100TX PCI Adapter. ----------------------------------------------------------- ** Note: Some entries are case sensitive. Please enter as indicated. A. Run RPLCMD utility to add a boot block record for the new FL100/10base PCI adapter. Please follow the sequence of commands to create boot block record: C:\WINNT\RPL> rplcmd Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: b Add Del Enum: a BootName=FL100TX_B VendorName=008048 BbcFile=BBLOCK\NETBEUI\FLPCI\DOSBB.CNF All other parameters are optional BootComment= Boot profile for FL100TX-PCI WindowSize=0 ** Note: VendorName should be exactly the same as the above, e.g., 008048. B. Run rplcmd utility to add the new configuration. Follow the sequence of commands to create the configuration: C:\WINNT\RPL> rplcmd Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit]: c Add Del Enum: a ConfigName=FL100TX_C BootName=FL100TX_B DirName=DOS DirName2=DOS622 FitShared=fits\dos622.FIT FitPersonal=fits\dos622p.FIT All other parameters are optional ConfigComment=MS-DOS 6.22 and Compex FL100TX/10base PCI aapter DirName3= DirName4= For BootName, enter the name of the boot block record you created in Step 5-A. Step 6. ------- Create new Profiles. -------------------- A. On Windows NT Server, log on to a user account that belongs to the Administrators local group. B. From the Remoteboot menu in Remoteboot Manager, choose New Profile. C. For the Profile Name, type a name for this profile, for example, D622FLTX.PCI ** Note: For the Profile name, if the server's RPL directory is on a FAT file system, use standard MS-DOS 8.3 format (eight characters, with an optional period and three more characters with no spaces or backslashes(\)). D. In the Configuration box, choose configuration you just created, e.g. MS-DOS 6.22 and Compex FL100TX PCI adapter E. For the Description, type a comment for the profile. For example, Compex FL100TX PCI booting MS-DOS v6.22 F. Choose the OK button. Step 7: ------- Adding a new workstation. ------------------------- A. On Windows NT Server, log on to a user account that belongs to the Administrators local group. B. Start the Remoteboot Manager on the server. C. Start the remoteboot workstation. ** Note: The workstation does not actually boot, but it does send a boot request to the server. Instead you will see a new line as show below in the upper window. "008048xxxxxx Unknown client network adapter id" If you have already started Remoteboot Manager, click on pull down menu, View | Refresh to see new adapters not associated with any card profile. D. Select this unknown adapter, click on Remoteboot | ConvertAdapters. E. In the Wksta Name box, type a name for the workstation. e.g. John. The name can have up to 15 characters. The Remoteboot service will create a Windows NT user account with this name, not for the user but for the workstation itself. F. In the Description box, type a comment that describes the workstation. e.g. FL100TX booting MS-DOS v6.22 G. Choose a configuration type: Shared if this workstation can share its profile with other workstations. Personal if this workstation must use a personal copy of a profile so that you can customize the environment for the workstation. H. In the Wksta In_Profile box, choose the correcponding profile name. For this installation, D622FLTX.PCI is the profile name. I. In the TCP/IP Configuration box, enter appropriate IP addresses if the workstation will use TCP/IP and will not use DHCP for automatic address handling. J. Choose the Add button to save the selection. Step 8: ------ Testing the remote boot on the workstation. ------------------------------------------- A remote boot logon prompt appears: Type remoteboot username, or press enter if it is : Step 9: ------- Remoteboot is successfully installed.
